Please Let Us Become Children Who Bring an End to the History of Being Children Without Filial Piety

Father! Until now, every day has flowed by filled with sorrow. Therefore, we have shouldered the responsibility that the days coming in the future must not be filled with sorrow.

We are the people of the Unification Church who have the mission of having to push aside the misfortune of this time when misfortune dwells in our land, and of having to plant expectation and hope.

As for the current trend of thought with its despair, discouragement, pathos, and grief swirling around, we have come to understand the truth that we must become a main current of unification which can overcome this, and can leave behind expectation and hope.

We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who know we must find and live a more public value for the sake of going that way.

Father! Until now, in the course of following the Will you are administering, the Unification Church has gone through many sorrowful situations. There were not just one or two times that, having been driven into frustrating situations which cannot be explained to anyone, stomping our feet, we wanted to curse, saying you didn't exist.

Each time we think of those kinds of days that have passed, we feel once again how pitiful a being you are, having gone through moment after moment anxiously and impatiently without being able to speak. It was you whose face was wounded for our sakes, and whose hands and feet were wounded for our sakes.

And not only that, we know that it was you who shed tears, sweat, and blood for our sakes hundreds of thousands of times, taking on difficult public destined relationships.

When we think of the fact that you live with us in this way in our realm of life, an earnest desire to take your hand and never to let it go must well up in our hearts.

Our hearts must well up with the desire to put our arms around your neck and to follow you on a mountain path or any path.

Please let us become people who know that when our minds feel that with that kind of destined relationship, we will have to live our lives carrying you on our backs, even though our strength is inadequate, only then will we be in the position of having fulfilled our duty of filial piety and loyalty.

We have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents.

Amen.
